We investigated the effect of wearing glasses and sunglasses on the perception of social traits from faces and on face matching. Participants rated images of people wearing no glasses, glasses and sunglasses on three social traits (trustworthiness, competence and attractiveness). Wearing sunglasses reduced ratings of trustworthiness. Participants also performed a matching task (telling whether two images show the same person or not) with pairs of images both wearing no glasses, glasses or sunglasses, and all combinations of eyewear. Incongruent eyewear conditions (e.g., one image wearing glasses and the other wearing sunglasses, etc.) reduced performance. Further analysis comparing performance on congruent and incongruent eyewear trials showed that our effects were driven by match trial performance, where differences in eyewear decreased accuracy. For same-eyewear-condition pairs, performance was poorer for pairs of images both wearing sunglasses than no glasses. Our results extend and update previous research on the effect of eyewear on face perception.
我们研究了佩戴眼镜和太阳镜对从面部感知社会特征以及面部匹配的影响。参与者对未戴眼镜、戴眼镜和戴太阳镜的人的图像在三种社会特征（可信度、能力和吸引力）方面进行评分。佩戴太阳镜会降低可信度评分。参与者还对未戴眼镜、戴眼镜或戴太阳镜的图像对以及所有眼镜组合进行了匹配任务（判断两张图像是否显示同一个人）。不一致的眼镜条件（例如，一张图像戴眼镜而另一张戴太阳镜等）会降低表现。进一步分析比较一致和不一致眼镜试验的表现表明，我们的效应是由匹配试验表现驱动的，其中眼镜差异会降低准确性。对于相同眼镜条件的图像对，两张图像都戴太阳镜的图像对比未戴眼镜的图像对表现更差。我们的结果扩展并更新了先前关于眼镜对面部感知影响的研究。
